Description
Steel cut oats are also known as "Irish Oats", as they are typically used in Ireland to make oat porridge. They are nuttier and chewier than other types of oats, but extremely satisfying. Steel cut oats take longer to cook than rolled oats, and produce a very different consistency.
Lotus Steel Cut Oats are made by cutting whole oat grains, into 2-3 small pieces where as traditional style porridge oats are rolled flat. Oats are a good source of many nutrients and minerals; including Vitamin E, zinc, selenium, copper, iron, manganese and magnesium. Oats are also a source of protein and a significant source of both soluble and insoluble dietary fibre. Lotus Steel Cut oats are full of whole grains, rich in beta glucan and contain no preservatives or additives. These oats are certified organic.
